TERF10/Parksville (tracked since 6/7/21)

TERF10 is a juvenile bald eagle who hatched in 2021 in a nest in Parksville on Vancouver Island and has been tracked by HWF. They were banded on June 7, 2021, receiving USFW band number 0709-06729 and a more readable blue band on the left leg with the characters L over 4. The likely gender was not recorded in the data I’ve seen so far.

Please visit our Hancock Wildlife Forum thread for more information about what TERF10 has been doing since then.

Update:

We have some more information about TERF10 – apparently their nest is in a big cottonwood tree in the middle of a subdivision, and after the local residents pointed out that there as an eagle nest there, the developer allowed the tree to remain and gave up a small parcel of open land around it – and the eagles have continued to successfully fledge young from the nest. For those who are watching our French Creek bald eagle cam, the nest is about A 10-minute drive south of the French Creek nest. I don’t have all the details yet, but have learned that Myles was working with an organization to band the eaglets in the nest, and was able to put a tracker on one of the siblings – TERF10.

We don’t have a photo of TERF10/Parksville yet, so I’m using a stand-in photo featuring the 2021 eaglets from our Surrey Reserve nest; they are 8 weeks old in the screenshot, which is approximately the age TERF10 was at banding.
